DEBKA Tehran faces a choice between “its destructive behavior” or “economic disaster,” said US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Sunday, Nov. 4, the day before US sanctions, lifted after the 2015 nuclear deal, were re-imposed on Iran. He said he was confident that Tehran would at the end of the day accept President Donald Trump’s conditions for sanctions relief, i.e. limiting missile production and development, halting terrorism against other countries (he cited Denmark, where an Iranian assassination attempt was foiled ), withdrawing its forces from involvement in Middle East countries, like Syria, Lebanon and Yemen, and retire to behind its Read More

It shouldn’t even be a question — rescuing the spawn of a delusional caliphate, born to a Canadian parent.

Because the alternative is to leave these kids in detention camps overseas that are breeding grounds for the next generation of terrorists.

That too is part of the long game being played by the Islamic State. Keeping the idea alive of a proto-state sustained by a covert global network with a weakened but enduring core. Making alliances with other terrorist groups. Re-establishing a foothold in lawless states. Continuing to exploit a sophisticated social media recruitment outreach to radicalize adherents.

It is a multi-generational war requiring a multi-generational counterattack to un-indoctrinate, rehabilitate and reintegrate.

Not the fighter fathers, who should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law — although Canadian officials have been confounded by the how of doing this. Perhaps not the mothers who are authors of their own misfortune, willingly or via self-ascribed ignorance. But surely the children who are innocent of crime even if they’ve committed crimes as passive or active child soldiers.

Which might very well mean, at its most stringent, separating those children from their mothers.

Most of these “caliphate” kids are far younger than the Geneva Protocol definition of child soldier as those under age 18. Some have been born to mothers already in detention.

Endangered youngsters are seized by child welfare agencies all the time, or until such time that a parent can prove fitness to rear. Fostering isn’t an optimal solution but it’s sometimes the least harmful option, particularly if the child can be placed inside his or her broader family, a grandparent, an aunt, a guardian.

Is it more inhumane to wrest a child from a mother’s arms or to leave that child in a godforsaken environment, behind barbed wire, vulnerable to disease, malnourishment and embittered ideology?

“I don’t have a good answer for that,” admits Shelly Whitman, executive director of the Romeo Dallaire Child Soldiers Initiative at Dalhousie University in Halifax.

Whitman argues that these children, even if they’ve been raised to cleave to jihadist beliefs, have a better chance at rehabilitation than adults. “It’s not the fault of the child. The way the brain works, if you have experienced trauma under the age of 17, you have a good chance of overcoming it. The malleability of the brain is much more difficult the older you get.”

There are those who claim rehabilitation from radicalism is a fraud, that the metrics are unreliable. Yet Whitman and others with expertise in the area point to quantifiable success. “If this can be done in conflict zones, why would we not think we’re capable of it in a country like Canada, where those children will be exposed to people who are caring and willing to help.”

I’ve seen that myself, in reintegration camps in the Congo for children rescued from the Lord’s Resistance Army — kids who cannot return to their villages because they’ve committed horrific crimes against their families as enslaved abductees.

Children with Canadian blood in their bones simply can’t be abandoned to a grim fate.

Global News recently reported there are at least 13 Canadians — three alleged terrorists, their wives and children — currently detained by Kurdish authorities in Syria. These kids are among the detritus of a failed ambition.

ISIS — or Daesh — has been all but destroyed in northern Syria and Iraq, at least territorially, with 95 per cent of the ground it once held liberated and tens of thousands of its fighters killed by a U.S.-led coalition. But it’s definitely not dead. It’s shape-shifting. Even as a purely combat non-state army, there are still 14,000 ISIS fighters in Syria and 17,000 in Iraq, according to a Pentagon report released in August.

It is estimated that 40,000 foreigners from 110 countries travelled to Iraq and Syria to join the jihadists.

In fact, ISIS has been making a comeback of sorts in recent months, as smaller attacks have become more frequent and with the adaptation of tactics such as weaponized drones. These are the boomerang effects of making war on ISIS — they learn, they pay it back.

Among their most fertile potential conscripts are children who were either born into the war or taken to the “caliphate.” Many of the women have been widowed; some are detained separately from their captured husbands.

Nobody wants them, including their captors. Few countries have any strategy for dealing with them.

In Iraq, some 1,000 women accused of belonging to ISIS have been rounded up from the ruins of towns and cities previously held by the insurgents, More than 800 infants are being held with their mothers. On one day in May, as reported by the Guardian, following 10-minute trials, 40 of those women were sentenced to death by hanging.

Kurdish forces currently holding hundreds of women and children captured on the battlefield are determined to deport them to their countries of origin.

A couple of weeks ago, France announced that it is working on repatriating the children of jihadist nationals — about 150 have been identified — but not their mothers. Belgium and Denmark are considering similar undertakings. The United Kingdom has stripped citizenship from known terrorists with dual citizenship, including two members of the notorious “Beatles,” originally a four-man cell suspected of committed 27 beheadings and now held by Kurdish forces.

British officials have said the government will bring home of some of the jihadist widows, a group pegged at about 80, from among the 360 British terror subjects still believed to be in Syria and Iraq (from an estimated 900 British subjects who went to fight). But there was instant outrage when a Sunday Times investigation reported that, among the 80 women, some had been part of a deadly terror cell linked to Jihadi John (Mohammed Emwazi), who had performed and filmed executions for ISIS before being himself killed in a 2015 drone strike.

Britain and France are among the countries that have suffered most deeply at the hands of homegrown jihadists so the leeriness is understandable. Earlier this year, a British extremist was sentenced to life in prison upon conviction of grooming children as young as 11 at an East London mosque — showing them footage of beheadings and conducting terrorism role-play exercises.

Canada’s contribution to ISIS has been relatively small. As of last year, the government reported there were about 190 extremists “with a nexus to Canada” who’d travelled overseas to engage in terrorism and another 60 who have returned. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau last month supported a Conservative-tabled motion to devise a federal strategy within 45 days to deal with Canadian jihadists who want to come home.

This came on the heels of on-the-scene reporting by Global TV’s Stewart Bell — this country’s most accomplished terrorism journalist — who’d interviewed Muhamed Ali, a.k.a. Abu Turaab Al-Kanadi, allegedly an ISIS sniper who hails from Mississauga, at a detainee facility run by the Syrian Democratic Forces, along with several wives of fighters held at another camp.

All yearn to come home.

Historically, repatriation is fundamental to the aftermath of ceasefire. Of course there has been no ceasefire with ISIS, never will be.

But a nation of mercy doesn’t visit the sins of the father or the mother upon the child.

House GnomesA tomte, nisse or tomtenisse (Sweden), nisse (Norway and Denmark) or Danish plural nisser) or tonttu (Finland) is a mythological creature from Scandinavian folklore. Its size is generally described as being from a few inches to about half the height of an adult man, having a long white beard, and wearing a conical or knit cap in red or some other bright color. In modern Denmark, nisser are often seen as beardless, wearing grey and red woolens with a red cap. They often have an appearance somewhat similar to that of a garden gnome.

According to tradition, the tomte/nisse lives in houses and barns, and secretly act as their guardian. If treated well, they protect the family and animals from evil and misfortune, and may also aid the chores and farm work. However, they are known to be short tempered, especially when offended. Once insulted, they will usually play tricks and steal items.

The internet went
down on February 28, 2017. Or at least that's how it seemed to some users as sites and apps like Slack and Medium went offline or malfunctioned for four hours. What actually happened is that Amazon's enormously popular S3 cloud storage service experienced an outage
, affecting everything that depended on it.

It was a reminder of the risks when too much of the internet relies on a single service. Amazon gives customers the option of storing their data in different "availability regions" around the world, and within those regions it has multiple data centers in case something goes wrong. But last year's outage knocked out S3 in the entire North Virginia region. Customers could of course use other regions, or other clouds, as backups, but that involves extra work, including possibly managing accounts with multiple cloud providers.

A San Francisco based startup called Netlify wants to make it easier to avoid these sorts of outages by automatically distributing its customers’ content to multiple cloud computing providers. Users don't need accounts with Amazon, Microsoft Azure, Rackspace, or any other cloud company―Netlify maintains relationships with those services. You just sign-up for Netlify, and it handles the rest.

You can think of the company's core service as a cross between traditional web hosting providers and content delivery networks, like Akamai, that cache content on servers around the world to speed up websites and apps. Netlify has already attracted some big tech names as customers, often to host websites related to open source projects. For example, Google uses Netlify for the website for its infrastructure management tool Kubernetes, and Facebook uses the service for its programming framework React. But Netlify founders Christian Bach and Mathias Biilmann don't want to just be middlemen for cloud hosting. They want to fundamentally change how web applications are built, and put Netlify at the center.

Traditionally, web applications have run mostly on servers. The applications run their code in the cloud, or in a company's own data center, assemble a web page based on the results, and send the result to your browser. But as browsers have grown more sophisticated, web developers have begun shifting computing workloads
to the browser. Today, browser-based apps like Google Docs or Facebook feel like desktop applications. Netlify aims to make it easier to build, publish, and maintain these types of sites.

Back to the Static Future

Markus Seyfferth, the COO of Smashing Media, was converted to Netlify's vision when he saw Biilman speak at a conference in 2016. Smashing Media, which publishes the web design and development publication Smashing Magazine
and organizes the Smashing Conference, was looking to change the way it managed its roughly 3,200-page website.

Since its inception in 2006, Smashing Magazine
had been powered by WordPress, the content management system that runs about 32 percent of the web
according to technology survey outfit W3Techs, along with e-commerce tools to handle sales of books and conference tickets and a third application for managing its job listing site. Using three different systems was unwieldy, and the company's servers struggled to handle the site’s traffic, so Seyfferth was looking for a new approach.

When you write or edit a blog post in WordPress or similar applications, the software stores your content in a database. When someone visits your site, the server runs WordPress to pull the latest version from the database, along with any comments that have been posted, and assembles it into a page that it sends to the browser.

Building pages on the fly like this ensures that users always see the most recent version of a page, but it's slower than serving prebuilt "static" pages that have been generated in advance. And when lots of people are trying to visit a site at the same time, servers can bog down trying to build pages on the fly for each visitor, which can lead to outages. That leads companies to buy more servers than they typically need; what’s more, servers can still be overloaded at times.

"When we had a new product on the shop, it needed only a couple hundred orders in one hour and the shop would go down," Seyfferth says.

WordPress and similar applications try to make things faster and more efficient by "caching" content to reduce how often the software has to query the database, but it's still not as fast as serving static content.

Static content is also more secure. Using WordPress or similar content managers exposes at least two "attack surfaces" for hackers: the server itself, and the content management software. By removing the content management layer, and simply serving static content, the overall "attack surface" shrinks, meaning hackers have fewer ways to exploit software.

The security and performance advantages of static websites have made them increasingly popular with software developers in recent years, first for personal blogs and now for the websites for popular open source projects.

In a way, these static sites are a throwback to the early days of the web, when practically all content was static. Web developers updated pages manually and uploaded pre-built pages to the web. But the rise of blogs and other interactive websites in the early 2000s popularized server-side applications that made it possible for non-technical users to add or edit content, without special software. The same software also allowed readers to add comments or contribute content directly to a site.

At Smashing Media, Seyfferth didn't initially think static was an option. The company needed interactive features, to accept comments, process credit cards, and allow users to post job listings. So Netlify built several new features into its platform to make a primarily static approach more viable for Smashing Media.

The Glue in the Cloud

Biilmann, a native of Denmark, spotted the trend back to static sites while running a content management startup in San Francisco, and started a predecessor to Netlify called Bit Balloon in 2013. He invited Bach, his childhood best friend who was then working as an executive at a creative services agency in Denmark, to join him in 2015 and Netlify was born.

Initially, Netlify focused on hosting static sites. The company quickly attracted high-profile open source users, but Biilman and Bach wanted Netlify to be more than just another web-hosting company; they sought to make static sites viable for interactive websites.

Open source programming frameworks have made it easier to build sophisticated applications in the browser
. And there's a growing ecosystem of services like Stripe for payments, Auth0 for user authentication, and Amazon Lambda for running small chunks of custom code, that make it possible to outsource many interactive features to the cloud. But these types of services can be hard to use with static sites because some sort of server side application is often needed to act as a middleman between the cloud and the browser.

Biilmann and Bach want Netlify to be that middleman, or as they put it, the "glue" between disparate cloud computing services. For example, they built an e-commerce feature for Smashing Media, now available to all Netlify customers, that integrates with Stripe. It also offers tools for managing code that runs on Lambda.

Smashing Media switched to Netlify about a year ago, and Seyfferth says it's been a success. It's much cheaper and more stable than traditional web application hosting. "Now the site pretty much always stays up no matter how many users," he says. "We'd never want to look back to what we were using before."

There are still some downsides. WordPress makes it easy for non-technical users to add, edit, and manage content. Static site software tends to be less sophisticated and harder to use. Netlify is trying to address that with its own open source static content management interface called Netlify CMS. But it's still rough.

Seyfferth says for many publications, it makes more sense to stick with WordPress for now because Netlify can still be challenging for non-technical users.

And while Netlify is a developer darling today, it's possible that major cloud providers could replicate some of its features. Google already offers a service called Firebase Hosting that offers some similar functionality.

For now, though, Bach and Biilmann say they're just focused on making their serverless vision practical for more companies. The more people who come around to this new approach, the more opportunities there are not just for Netlify, but for the entire new ecosystem.

Secretary Michael R. Pompeo spoke by phone today with Danish Foreign Minister Anders Samuelsen. They discussed Denmark’s public announcement of an arrest related to an Iranian plot to assassinate members of an Iranian dissident group living in Denmark. They also discussed the importance of strong collective EU action to hold Iran accountable for its continued use of terrorism on European soil. Secretary Pompeo praised Denmark’s swift and strong response and reiterated that the U.S. maximum pressure campaign against Iran is in response to this type of abhorrent behavior from the Iranian regime. Secretary Pompeo stressed that the United States stands with our European allies and partners in addressing the threat of the Iranian regime’s support for terrorism.

MODERATOR: Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the Foreign Press Center. We are pleased to have with us this morning Secretary Pompeo and Secretary Mnuchin. They’ll both have some opening remarks and then hopefully we’ll have time for one or two questions afterwards.

Secretary Pompeo, please.

SECRETARY POMPEO: Hey, Robert. Thank you. Good morning, everyone. It’s great to be here at the Foreign Press Center. It’s great to see you all. In May of this year, after President Trump withdrew from the nuclear deal, the Trump administration announced a new strategy to fundamentally alter the behavior of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s leadership. At the center of this effort – and there are multiple lines of effort – but at the center of it is an unprecedented campaign of economic pressure. Our objective is to starve the Iranian regime of the revenue it uses to fund violent and destabilizing activities throughout the Middle East, and indeed around the world.

Our ultimate goal is to convince the regime to abandon its current revolutionary course. Just look at what happened last week. Denmark announced it had uncovered an Iranian regime assassination plot on its own soil. The Iranian regime has a choice. It can either do a 180-degree turn from its outlaw course of action and act like a normal country, or it can see its economy crumble.

We hope a new agreement with Iran is possible, but until Iran makes changes in the 12 ways that I listed in May, we will be relentless in exerting pressure on the regime. As a reflection of that resolve, today we’re reimposing all sanctions that were previously lifted under the nuclear deal. This includes sanctions on energy, banking, shipping, and shipbuilding industries.

Since the Trump administration came into office, we’ve done 19 rounds of sanctions targeting 168 Iranian entities. Today’s sanctions will accelerate the rapid decline of international economic activity in Iran since the implementation of our strategy in May. Since that time, since back in May, over 100 companies have withdrawn from Iran or canceled plans to do business there. It should be noted that if a company evades our sanctions regime and secretly continues sanctionable commerce in the Islamic Republic, the United States will levy severe, swift penalties on it, including potential sanctions. I promise you that doing business with Iran in defiance of our sanctions will ultimately be a much more painful business decision than pulling out of Iran and it – being connected to Iran entirely.

More than 20 importing nations have zeroed out their imports of crude oil already, taking more than one million barrels of crude per day off the market. The regime today, since May, has lost over $2.5 billion in oil revenue. We have decided to issue temporary allotments to a handful of countries responsible to specific circumstances and to ensure a well-supplied oil market. The U.S. will be granting these exemptions to China, India, Italy, Greece, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and Turkey. Each of those countries has already demonstrated significant reductions of the purchase of Iranian crude over the past six months, and indeed two of those eight have already completely ended imports of Iranian crude and will not resume as long as the sanctions regime remains in place. We continue negotiations to get all of the nations to zero.

Additionally today, 100 percent of the revenue Iran receives from the sale of oil will be held in foreign accounts. Iran can only use this money for humanitarian trade or bilateral – in bilateral nonsanctioned goods.

Speaking of Iran’s nuclear program, we have decided to grant narrow and temporary waivers that permit the continuation of three nonproliferation projects currently underway. Allowing these activities to continue for the time being will improve ongoing oversight of Iran’s civil nuclear program and make these facilities less susceptible to illicit and illegal nuclear uses. Rest assured Iran will never come close to getting a nuclear weapon on President Trump’s watch.

I will now turn it over to Secretary Mnuchin.

SECRETARY MNUCHIN: Thank you. Today the United States is executing on the final actions to withdraw on the Obama administration’s fatally flawed Iran deal. This morning, we will fully impose sanctions on the Iranian regime. This is part of a maximum unprecedented economic pressure campaign the United States is waging against the world’s largest state sponsor of terror. Today we sanctioned more than 700 individuals, entities, aircraft, and vessels as part of Treasury’s largest ever single day action targeting Iran. Over 300 of those sanctions are new targets. In addition, we are relisting hundreds of individuals and entities that were previously sanctioned, granted sanctions relief under the JCPOA.

These powerful sanctions directly target Iran’s banking, energy, and shipping sectors. The Iranian regime has funneled billions of dollars for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps force through the banking sector. Today’s designation includes 50 Iranian banks and their foreign and domestic subsidiaries in conduction with Iran’s regime support for international terrorism, proliferation of mass destruction, or their means of delivery and human rights abuses.

Our actions include the identification of more than 400 targets, including over 200 persons and vessels in Iran’s shipping and energy sector; Iran Air, the national airline of Iran, and more than 65 aircraft; the placement of nearly 250 persons in associated block properties on the Specially Designated Nationals list; the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran.

Over the last five months, Treasury has implemented some of the most impactful sanctions ever seen. Combined with the previous actions, more than 900 Iran-related targets have been sanctioned under this administration in less than two years, marking the highest-ever level of U.S. economic pressure on Iran. We are making it abundantly clear to the Iranian regime that they will face mounting financial isolation until they fundamentally change their destabilizing behavior.

Iran’s leaders must cease support for terrorism and end destructive regional activities immediately. They must stop ballistic missiles and abandon their nuclear ambitions if they seek a path to sanctions relief. We are watching the Iranian regime with laser focus. If they try to evade our sanctions, we will take action to disrupt their activity time and time again.

The maximum pressure exerted by the United States is only going to mount from here. Companies around the world need to know we will be strictly enforcing our sanctions. Thank you.

MODERATOR: That – we’ll have time for a few questions. Let’s go to Sky News, Cordelia Lynch.

QUESTION: Hello, this is a question for Secretary Pompeo. The President invoked Game of Thrones when he was discussing sanctions. Do you think that was appropriate?

SECRETARY POMPEO: This administration has been consistent from, frankly, President Trump’s campaign to the first day he was inaugurated about our intention. We understand that the Islamic Republic of Iran presents a threat to the United States of America, and we are determined to stop it. And much has been made about this Game of Thrones. Qasem Soleimani responded, and I haven’t seen any of you comment on that. This is a man who has American blood on his hands. He’s killed American soldiers, and that’s not funny. And the actions that the Islamic Republic of Iran are taking are not about little silly things that people get wrapped up here in Washington, D.C., but about very serious matters that impact all of Europe, all the Middle East and the world, and our young men and women who are in harm’s way today.

QUESTION: Hi, thank you very much. Thank you very much. I was wondering, what could you say to the European countries that were expecting to be in this list of countries that are not going to suffer the sanctions? And what kind of relation have you have with them, what are the conversations regarding this topic? Thank you.

SECRETARY POMPEO: You want to talk about on the financial side, Steven?

SECRETARY MNUCHIN: Well, I don’t think we’ve ever said that it relates to the European countries, that they’ll be exempt. I think quite the contrary. We’ve said that we expect them to honor the sanctions. Having said that, there are certain transactions that they can continue to do, whether they’re humanitarian transactions or specific trade in the restricted accounts. And again, let me just emphasize, as I said last week, we will make sure that humanitarian transactions are really going for those purposes. So this is not about hurting the people of Iran, but we will not let money be diverted to humanitarian purposes and then put for terrorist activities.

SECRETARY POMPEO: And then just to follow up, with respect to the relationship, we’ve been very candid and clear with all of the European countries. There are more than three, we should note. Many of them are fully supportive of what it is that we are undertaking. They have taken a different approach with respect to the JCPOA, but it is also something that the whole world should know. European businesses have already made their decisions. They’ve decided not to do business with the Islamic Republic of Iran, and so we’re very confident that the sanctions regime that we’re putting in place will be effective.

MODERATOR: Al Jazeera English, James Bays.

QUESTION: James Bays from Al Jazeera English. You talk about the destabilizing behavior of Iran in the region. How does that differ from the behavior of Saudi Arabia?

SECRETARY POMPEO: So let me just go through the list: Underwriting Lebanese Hizballah, that presents a threat to the United States of America and Israel; underwriting the Houthis in Yemen, causing an enormous conflict to take place there in that country; the efforts in Iraq to undermine the Iraqi Government, funding Shia militias that are not in the best interests of the Iraqi people; their efforts in Syria; the list goes on. The difference in behavior between those two countries is remarkable. Since we’ve taken office, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has been very supportive of our efforts on counterterrorism. They’ve assisted us. I know Secretary Mnuchin has worked with them on a couple of projects as well. It is completely clear the Islamic Republican of Iran is the destabilizing force in the Middle East today.

Do you want to add to that?

SECRETARY MNUCHIN: No, I think it’s well said.

MODERATOR: Last question. Let’s go to TASS, Dmitry Kirsanov.

QUESTION: Thank you. Gentlemen, thanks a lot for coming over to brief us. For Secretary Pompeo. Sir, you mentioned that three waivers have been issued for the civilian nuclear energy project. Could you clarify what those are? And Bushehr nuclear power plant, will it be the one under the waiver? Thank you.

SECRETARY POMPEO: Thank you. That’s a great question. It’s a pretty complicated area, that nonproliferation issue. There are three. Bushehr is one of the three. But if I may, we will get out a full fact sheet on that here in the next hour or so that you’ll all be able to see. What we’ve authorized is very narrow, very limited, very time limited as well, but important nonetheless that these nonproliferation projects are not things that are taking place without some ability to see what’s going on, and we’ll give you the full details of the scope of those waivers.

MODERATOR: We have time for – this is the last one. Let’s go right to the front, right here, please.

QUESTION: Thank you. Roj Zalla with RUDAW TV in Iraqi Kurdistan. Mr. Secretary, Iran has very powerful hands in Iraq. Are you not concerned that with these sanctions Iran might increase the pressure on some of your allies in Iraq? And in that case, what can you do to reassure those allies?

SECRETARY POMPEO: So it’s a very reasonable question. Here’s the facts. Since the United States entered the JCPOA in 2015, Iran has turned up the heat on those very entities to which you’re referring. So we have a history, we have data set, we have a historical basis upon which to say that we know that the JCPOA didn’t impede Iran one bit from putting pressure on Kurdistan, pressure in Baghdad, pressure throughout the region. We are very hopeful that the set of efforts we’re undertaking – we’ve focused here on the financial and economic, but the full range of efforts we’re taking to push back against the Islamic Republic of Iran will have the intended effect of reducing Iran’s capacity to be destabilizing and present risk to the Middle East, to Europe, and the world.

MODERATOR: With that, that concludes this morning’s briefing. Thank you very much to Secretaries Pompeo and Mnuchin.

SECRETARY POMPEO: Thank you all

MODERATOR: Thank you, sir. Thank you all

One of the biggest surprises at RMAF was the launch of new Børresen Acoustics (website) loudspeakers from Denmark. Michael Børresen and Lars Kristensen always tend to be found in the better rooms at any given show but honestly these new wood cabinet speakers knocked my socks off. I finally had some time off from covering rooms and stumbled into their room with my pal Jimmy and we both were blown away by the speed of these speaker systems. Given that Michael and Lars really had to prove themselves since leaving Raidho, the speakers had to take a leap forward over the already excellent Raidho speakers which look somewhat similar. Michael had two ideas to improve the performance: 1. a new, lighter ribbon tweeter design, and 2. a new driver. The tweeter is a ribbon design which Michael has lots of experience with. The new driver has a moving mass of just 0.01 grams! The team used finite element analysis to optimize the magnetic flux field and it operates from approximately 2.5khz upward. Efficiency is very high at 94db. As for the drivers themselves, Michael uses a very thin carbon fiber on each side of a 4mm nomex honeycomb cone. This creates [...]

Today is voting day, and while we are hoping for a blue wave that will allow us to ameliorate some of the damage Donald Trump is doing to our country, not everyone shares this sentiment! Some people will be very unhappy if that happens, including the members of a violent Georgia militia best known for their participation in the Charlottesville Unite The Right rally.

Chris Hill, the leader of the Georgia Security Force III% militia -- who alternately goes by "General Holy War" and "Blood Agent" (a reference to poisons like cyanide and arsenic that work by poisoning the blood) -- gave an interview to a Danish TV station in which he explained that if there is a blue wave, and that blue wave then goes and tries to impeach Donald Trump, then he and his well-armed militia will be ready to use force to prevent that from happening. With guns.

"They want to remove our weapons, and all we have to say is that they can just try," says the leader of Georgia III% Security Force for TV 2.

It may be that they have got their husband in the White House, who fight their case, but get the democrats more power after the election on Tuesday, there is especially one thing they worry about.

"We have the feeling that they will try to topple Trump," says Chris Hill.

And if the Democrats were to start a lawsuit against their president, they are not sure what the next step from the training in the forest will be.

"If the Democrats are trying to topple Donald Trump as President, then we are ready to support the President in every way. We are ready to pull our weapons and step in if senior politicians start on things we do not like. We will soon have enough, says Chris Hill.

The other members of the group interviewed by TV2 were clear in their belief that Democrats were going to destroy their freedoms and that they were prepared to respond to this with violent force.

The militia group is not particularly in favor of democrats.

"They move the United States further and further away from what the country was founded, namely freedom," he continues.

Their weapons have now become their most important allies and the most precious in the struggle for Trump and against the government apparatus they do not think he is a part of.

"We are not just some idiots who rush around in the forest for fun with our weapons. This is not a fucking play for us. It's our constitution that we fight to protect. I'm training from here to be ready to fight for my rights one day, says John Myers.

And yesterday, as first pointed out by Jessica Moulite at The Root, the group posted a since-deleted update to their Facebook page yesterday threatening violence if Stacey Abrams -- whom they describe as a "flag burning, gun grabbing, socialist bitch" -- is elected governor of Georgia.

"Guns up!," they said.

Take a minute and imagine the exploding heads on Fox News were someone associated with the Left to go around talking about how they were going to pull weapons and step in if politicians didn't do what they like. If antifa groups were out training in the forest every weekend, with guns, talking about how they were ready to just start murdering people if things didn't go their way. If they were going around posting Facebook updates that read "Guns up!" at the end. I mean, my god, they are still in tears over the horror of the drive by elevator speeches during the Kavanaugh trial. They'd lose their fucking minds.

Now take a moment and imagine what they would do if there were a picture of a Democratic candidate posing with people who explicitly said they were going to murder politicians who didn't do what they wanted.

Now look at this picture of Georgia gubernatorial candidate Brian Kemp with those people. "Blood Agent" is the second one in from the bottom, I think. The woman in the MAGA hat goes by "Cpl. Harley Quinn."

The fact is though, it's hard to get to the SOMEONE INTERRUPTED TED CRUZ DURING HIS DINNER! panic level when we are as inured as we are to this kind of rhetoric. People on the Right, even those who aren't members of crazy ass militias, even some who are elected officials or candidates for office, have been saying these things for years, quite casually.

"When a ruler becomes tyrannical, we the people have the right to abolish government and institute new government based on the ideals that make us free."

Who is out there telling them they're wrong? No one I can see.

There is a certain tolerance for this kind of rhetoric from people who call themselves "patriots," that is not extended to, say, Nancy Pelosi speaking figuratively about taking and throwing punches.

This tolerance even exists among some on the Left who are so eager to appear "reasonable" that they will do the "both sides" shuffle and try to compare sending people mail bombs with vandalism. Even the FBI now admits that they kind of blanked on considering rightwing terrorism to be a legitimate threat and now don't know what to do.

What this guy said needs to be taken seriously. These people are actually out there, hoarding guns and preparing to violently overthrow the government if they don't get their way. They are prepared to kill people and are not even minutely afraid to publicly admit it, and if they had any other political ideology on earth, or even if they were just a part of some religious cult, this would be something that was taken seriously.

“One of the penalties of an ecological education is that one lives alone in a world of wounds. Much of the damage inflicted on land is quite invisible to laymen. An ecologist must either harden his shell and make believe that the consequences of science are none of his business, or he must be the doctor who sees the marks of death in a community that believes itself well and does not want to be told otherwise.” —Aldo Leopold, A Sand County Almanac

I have come to accept the bittersweet nature of my mountain trips. I venture into the heights for solace from the political, social and ecological demise that is raging across the planet. While camping at 7,000 feet in the central Cascade Mountains, I take in the view of the grand east face of Glacier Peak from atop Fortress Mountain. I gulp in the thick stars above. I find solace in the fact that those who are wrecking the planet will never be able to desecrate the stars.

However, while marveling at the glaciers glowing in the morning sun on Glacier Peak, their rapid retreat is starkly highlighted by the barren Earth below, where they once resided.

My last trip was on October 20, and from the summit, a 360-degree view revealed no less than four wildfires still burning. It was well into the fall in the Pacific Northwest, yet smoke still covered vast swaths of the state and was rapidly filling in the valleys below me.

While hiking out later, the after effects were inescapable. Portions of the forest I hiked through bore the scars of previous wildfires, and served as a warning of more to come.

The biggest news in the corporate media regarding climate change since my last dispatch has been the UN report stating that we have 12 years left to limit a full-on climate change catastrophe. To avoid this fate, we would need to spend those 12 years curbing global emissions dramatically.

Essentially, there would need to be a government-mandated plan across the globe that would enable us to limit warming to 1.5 degrees centigrade (1.5°C) rather than the 2°C goal of the 2015 Paris climate talks.

Eliminating that extra .5 of warming would save tens of millions of people from sea level rise inundation, and hundreds of millions from water scarcity and a myriad of other catastrophic impacts.

Limiting warming to 1.5°C would, scientists have said, require a radical rethinking of virtually every facet of modern society, including an abandonment of our entire fossil-fuel based economy.

However, currently, we are headed for at least a 3°C increase by 2100, with no mass government mobilization in sight.

Meanwhile, the warnings that the catastrophe is already upon us continue.

A recent study in a paper published August 31 in the journal Science warned that for each degree of rise in global temperature, insect-driven losses to the staple crops of rice, wheat and corn increase by 10-25 percent.

Given we are already at 1.1°C warming, we are already seeing these losses, which are sure to increase. “In 2016, the United Nations estimated that at least 815 million people worldwide don’t get enough to eat,” the University of Washington Press wrote of the study.

“Corn, rice and wheat are staple crops for about 4 billion people, and account for about two-thirds of the food energy intake, according to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization.”

At the same time, scientists are deeply concerned about the fact that non-pest insect numbers are declining rapidly. Bees, moths, butterflies, ladybugs and other insects are far less abundant, and scientists around the world warn that these insects are crucial to as much as 80 percent of all the food we eat.

“You have total ecosystem collapse if you lose your insects,” University of Delaware entomologist Doug Tallamy told the AP. “How much worse can it get than that?”

Meanwhile, in the realm of sea level rise, things are irreversibly catastrophic. A recent study of Antarctic ice sheets shows them to be far more sensitive to temperature increases than previously believed.

The study showed that when global temperatures were only slightly warmer than they are currently, sea levels were 20-30 feet higher than they are right now. “It doesn’t need to be a very big warming, as long as it stays 2 degrees warmer for a sufficient time, this is the end game,” David Wilson, a geologist at Imperial College London and one of the authors of the new research told The Washington Post.

Equally disturbingly, lakes in the Arctic are literally bubbling and hissing: They are releasing methane in large quantities as the ground underneath them thaws.

Methane is a greenhouse gas 100 times more potent than carbon dioxide on a 10-year timescale, and the widespread release of methane was a key driver of the Permian Mass Extinction event which annihilated more than 90 percent of life on Earth.

Meanwhile, the Arctic sea ice is melting rapidly. Ice extent reached its annual minimum recently, which is normally when the ice would begin reforming rapidly, particularly right in the middle of the Arctic Ocean. Instead, the ice continued to decline.

To underscore how governments are not doing enough to mitigate climate change impacts, Brazil, a major greenhouse gas emitting country, recently elected right-wing extremist Jair Bolsonaro as president. To say he is anti-environment (in addition to homophobic, racist and sexist) would be a gross understatement.

Known as the Trump of the Tropics, his plans include disempowering federal environmental agencies, opening up Indigenous reserves in the Amazon to mining and farming, and building hydroelectric dams in the rainforest, where deforestation, already at crisis levels, is set to explode.

Earth

Impacts of human-caused climate disruption across the terrestrial plane are becoming increasingly stark.

A recently published study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences revealed that global insects are in a crisis, and the problem is even more widespread than previously realized.

While previous studies had revealed a 45 percent decrease in invertebrates like bees and beetles in the last 35 years and another study showed a 76 percent decrease in flying insects in the last few decades in German nature preserves, the new study shows a startling loss of insects now extending into the Americas.

The report cites climate change as the cause. “This is one of the most disturbing articles I have ever read,” David Wagner, an expert in invertebrate conservation at the University of Connecticut told The Washington Post of the study.

Another recent study, also in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, showed that more than 300 species of mammals have been driven to extinction by human activities.

The study showed that even if humans ceased destroying wilderness areas and ended poaching and pollution within 50 years, and extinction rates fell back to normal levels, 5-7 million years would be required for the natural world to recover from what we have done to it.

“We are doing something that will last millions of years beyond us,” Matt Davis, a research leader at Aarhus University in Denmark, told The Guardian. “It shows the severity of what we are in right now.

We’re entering what could be an extinction on the scale of what killed the dinosaurs. That is pretty scary. We are starting to cut down the whole tree [of life], including the branch we are sitting on right now.”

In the US West, a region iconic for its vast expanses and the freedom to roam in the wilderness that comes with them, some people refer to themselves as “prisoner[s] of the environment” (as reported in this piece in The Guardian) due to increasingly unhealthy air quality from wildfire smoke, water shortages and drought. Many residents are now wondering whether they should move.

Longer, hotter fire seasons, increasingly warm temperatures, less snowfall, changes in plants, and shorter winters are in the process of fundamentally changing Yellowstone National Park in the next few decades.

“That conclusion is pretty much inescapable,” John Gross, ecologist with the National Park Service’s Climate Change response program, told USA Today. “It’s really more a question of the when and how it occurs than if.”

And it’s not just Yellowstone. The recently published study, “Disproportionate magnitude of climate change in United States national parks,” has shown that the parks have warmed twice as fast as the US average, and could well see the worst impacts of climate change. This is due to the fact that vast portions of national park areas are located at higher elevations, in the arid southwestern US, or in the Arctic.

The iconic trees of Joshua Tree National Park may soon find their environment uninhabitable. Glacier National Park will eventually be free of glaciers. And many other national parks could be left virtually unrecognizable by climate change.

Meanwhile, as permafrost continues to thaw and water seeps deeper into mountain crags, increasingly severe storms (thanks to climate change) will destabilize mountains and increase the risk of landslides and rockfall.

Speaking of permafrost, a recent report showed that coastal erosion in the Arctic is intensifying climate change. As the coast there eroded during the end of the last glacial period (20,000 years ago), dramatic amounts of the frozen CO2 were released into the atmosphere.

A recent study in Canada’s British Columbia showed that climate change is pushing alpine animals higher up mountains, as well as into extinction. The study showed that both plants and animals are shifting upslope 100 meters for every 1°C in temperature increase.
It’s not just plants and animals being forced to higher ground.

Some humans in the US are also moving to higher ground, as the era of mass climate migration has begun. The Great Migration in the US, a period during the 20th century when roughly 6 million black people fled the Jim Crow South for cities elsewhere, was the previous largest internal migration in the US.

One study showed that by the end of this century, sea level rise alone could displace 13 million people, six million of those in Florida alone. That number doesn’t include people fleeing drought and wildfire-prone areas, nor those having to move for lack of water, or ensuing violence.

Making matters worse, another leading climate scientist warned that 15-20 feet of sea level rise is possible within the next 70 years. That amount of sea level rise would mean the end of, literally, every major coastal city on Earth.

The number of people displaced would be in the hundreds of millions, as New York City, Boston, Miami, Lagos, Jakarta, Shanghai, Mumbai, New Orleans, vast swaths of Boston, and Ho Chi Min City would all be underwater.

A recent report from Yale 360 argued that the current system of rating hurricanes needs to be scrapped, because it fails to account for how climate change-augmented hurricanes are now carrying far more powerful storm surges, often moving slower, and bringing flooding from rainfall that the current system cannot account for.

If all of this information makes you feel despair, you are not alone. Another recent study warned of “catastrophic” mental health changes that are tied to climate change, including high levels of stress, anxiety and depression.

Water

As usual, climate change-induced disruptions are glaringly apparent in the watery realms of Earth.
A massive iceberg is now poised to break off Antarctica’s Pine Island Glacier. The iceberg is notably larger than the one that broke off the same glacier a year ago, which was 4.5 times the size of Manhattan.

In the US, given how many millions of people live in coastal flooding zones, with more looking to move to the coast, no one is required to even tell you if your future home is likely to flood.

According to a recent study by the Natural Resources Defense Council and Sabin Center for Climate Law, “[i]n 21 US states there are no statutory or regulatory requirements for a seller to disclose a property’s flood risks or past flood damages.”

The other 29 states have varying degrees of requirements to disclose this information.

In the low-lying coastal nation of Bangladesh, an entire country already beset by regular flooding, there is now an ongoing rural exodus into cities that is literally reshaping the country.

With 163 million people, Bangladesh is the world’s most populous delta. There, riverbank erosion alone displaces between 50,000-200,000 people annually, and the capital city of Dhaka is absorbing between 300,000-400,000 people — mostly climate migrants — each year.

On the other side of the spectrum of climate change-induced water disasters is drought.

In the US, a crisis at Lake Powell, between Utah and Arizona, is looming as the ongoing long-term drought impacts plaguing the Southwest are reaching farther and farther upstream. Water rationing has reached far upriver as places in Colorado have had to ration water due to diminishing snowpacks and the ongoing drought.

In New Mexico, water reservoirs are nearing bottom as they have been used to help people survive the record drought of 2018, but now they are nearly dry, prompting worries about how to deal with the future, for which only increasing widespread drought is predicted. For example, by late September, the largest reservoir in the state was at only 3 percent capacity.

Down in Australia, an ongoing drought is hotter and drier than anything people in the impacted areas have ever known, and it is getting worse.

“It’s quite unusual to get over 40C here but this last summer and the last couple of summers have been so scorchingly hot,” a sheep farmer there told The Guardian. “You can see the water being sucked out of the dams, sucked out of the soil, sucked out of my life and you can’t plan for that.”

Wildfires, made more frequent, hotter and larger due to climate change, are torching the Pacific Northwest. Photo from Dahr Jamail.

Fire

After another summer of rampant wildfires across the US West, several continue to burn well into the fall. Since my last dispatch, a Wyoming wildfire forced evacuations from hundreds of homes and forced the closure of a highway south of Jackson.

A recent report discussed how wildfire tornadoes, record sizes and temperatures of wildfires, and other seeming anomalies will become phenomena we can expect regularly going into the future, thanks to climate change.

Air

Of the record-breaking high temperatures there, climatologist Brian Brettschneider told the Anchorage Daily News, “we are absolutely smashing, obliterating, September records.” The average maximum daily temperature in September at the time of that report was 65.9 degrees Fahrenheit, more than 3 degrees warmer than the next closest September. On average, the typical average high temperature for the month of September there is 55°F.

High-temperature records were set across the state that month with Palmer, Kodiak, Seward, Kenai, Cordova and Valdez all setting records.

High-temperature records continue to be set around the world on a regular basis, yet in the US, the impacts are clear. Late October saw another record-breaking heat wave hit Southern California, with Los Angeles hitting 102°F.

Denial and Reality

In a recent interview, Donald Trump, who had called human-caused climate change “a Chinese hoax,” said it is real, “but I don’t know that it’s manmade.” He also said the climate will “change back again” — whatever that means.

Meanwhile, the ongoing denialism continues unabated in his administration. Climate change information was removed from an important planning document for a national park in New England, with the rationale that it was deemed a “sensitive” topic.

The North Carolina government did not like the science about sea level rise, so literally passed a law banning policies based on such forecasts. The state, of course, is still recovering from flooding from Hurricane Florence.

On that note, it was recently exposed that the state of Texas, already the leading emitter of greenhouse gasses in the US, has approved 43 petrochemical projects along the Gulf Coast since 2012 — projects that add millions of tons more of greenhouse gas pollution.

Stunningly, despite the terrifying weather events and dire predictions of what’s to come, it has come to light that the Trump administration is aware of and accepts a projected 7-degree rise in global temperatures by just 2100.

This came out in a draft statement issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which was written to justify Trump’s decision to freeze federal fuel-efficiency standards for cars and trucks built after 2020.

“The amazing thing they’re saying is human activities are going to lead to this rise of carbon dioxide that is disastrous for the environment and society,” Michael MacCracken, who served as a senior scientist at the US Global Change Research Program from 1993 to 2002 told The Washington Post.

“And then they’re saying they’re not going to do anything about it.”

The Trump administration’s stance on climate change is essentially that we’re doomed, so what’s the point in cutting greenhouse gas emissions?

With regard to the alarming UN climate report, the White House basically shrugged it off, claiming that emissions in the US have dropped since 2005. This is a true statement, but does not explain the reason for that, which is a historic shift away from coal-fired electricity and toward renewables and natural gas.

Fortunately, reality is striking back.

A group of 17 bipartisan state governors representing states that comprise half of the total US GDP has vowed to both fight climate change and fight Donald Trump on the issue. They recently pledged $1.4 billion to support electric cars and institute new policies geared toward reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

And of course, the language coming out of the UN is a sign that the international community is beginning to understand the full weight of climate change’s implication.

Alas, this realization has not yet been met with the policy response it deserves. The author of a key UN report on the dangers of breaching the 1.5°C global warming limit recently said that the world is “nowhere near on track” to keep warming below even that already arbitrary level.

Valerie Strauss of the Washington Post offers up Dr. David Berliner's expressed reasons to his students on why he is voting as he his this election. That is, he is focused on candidates and programs that get at the root problems of underachievement and the achievement gap, including the abuses and misuses of test scores and rating systems.Everybody, get out and vote tomorrow!-Angela Valenzuela

Educational psychologist David Berliner is one of this country’s most distinguished education researchers.

Regents’ professor emeritus at Arizona State University, he is a former president of the American Educational Research Association and a former dean of the College of Education at Arizona State. He has also taught at the University of Arizona, the University of Massachusetts and Stanford University, as well as universities in Canada, Australia, the Netherlands, Denmark, Spain and Switzerland.

Berliner sent the following to me. He explained that some of his students had asked how he planned to vote in the midterm elections next month, and he decided to explain in written detail. I am publishing it because it is more than an explanation of one man’s electoral preferences but a detailed look at public schools today and the state of efforts to “reform” them.

By David Berliner

As the midterm elections draw near my students asked me to talk a bit about my voting preferences. I decided to write out my answer to them because my response is lengthy and perhaps a bit unusual.

I asked my students and colleagues not to vote for those who want to improve or reform the schools. I told them that I was done voting for politicians who spout this foolishness over and over again! Too many of them are wasting their time, my time, our money, and they are hurting our country, as well.

I explained that the big problems of American education are not in America’s schools. So, reforming the schools, as Jean Anyon once said, is like trying to clean the air on one side of a screen door. It cannot be done!

It’s neither this nations’ teachers nor its curriculum that impede the achievement of our children. The roots of America’s educational problems are in the numbers of Americans who live in poverty. America’s educational problems are predominantly in the numbers of kids and their families who are homeless; whose families have no access to Medicaid or other medical services. These are often families to whom low-birth-weight babies are frequently born, leading to many more children needing special education.

Educational problems also have roots in the numbers of kids living in dysfunctional families where opioid and other drug addictions, or mental illness, is not treated. Our educational problems have their roots in families where food insecurity or hunger is a regular occurrence, or where those with increased lead levels in their bloodstream get no treatments before arriving at a schools’ doorsteps. Our problems stem also from the harsh incarceration laws that break up families instead of counseling them and trying to keep them together. And our problems relate to harsh immigration policies that keep millions of families too frightened to seek out better lives for themselves and their children.

Yes, of course, there are in-school problems that need fixing, such as the re-employment of all the social workers, nurses, counselors and school psychologists lost after the recession of 2008. While all these people are important staff at their schools, we should remember that their skills are particularly needed because of all the problems I just mentioned above.

So many of these problems of American education have their start in the tracking of America’s children — but not necessarily by their schools! Our children are tracked into different neighborhoods on the basis of their family’s income, ethnicity, and race. This is where our school problems begin. We seem blind to the fact that housing policies that promote that kind of segregation are educational policies, as well.

When you allow overwhelmingly wealthy, middle-class, and poor neighborhoods to develop, you destroy the chance for the neighborhood school to help better our children by bringing diverse income, racial, and ethnic groups together.

Neighborhood schools, affectionately supported in American folk beliefs as a great equalizer in the melting pot we think of as America, now perform on assessments almost exactly as that neighborhoods’ income predicts they will. The neighborhood school in a society with an apartheid-lite housing policy is killing us!

Do we have an apartheid-lite system of education? We certainly do not have the legally sanctioned apartheid of South Africa. But we should recognize that we do have heavily segregated systems of housing. In New York and Illinois, over 60 percent of black kids go to schools where 90-100 percent of the kids are nonwhite and mostly poor. In California, Texas and Rhode Island, 50 percent or more of Latino kids go to schools where 90-100 percent of the kids are also not white, and often poor. Similar statistics hold for American Indian kids. And throughout rural America there is almost always a “wrong-side-of-the-tracks” neighborhood, or a trailer park area, in which poorer people are expected to live. And kids in those neighborhoods generally go to schools with the other kids from those neighborhoods.

These realities of contemporary American life have powerful effects on schooling in America. For example, I can predict quite accurately the percentage of kids that score at certain levels on standardized tests by knowing characteristics of the families who send their kids to their neighborhood school. I don’t need to know anything at all about the teachers or curriculum at that school. If I want to, I can probably skip the expense of the test!

Research demonstrates that If you know the average income, the average level of parental education, and the percentage of single-parent households in a community — just these three variables — you can predict with great accuracy the performance on the standardized test scores used by that community to judge its schools. We don’t really have to give the tests because we already can accurately predict the aggregate scores of schools and townships. It’s not the quality of our teachers or curriculum that allows such remarkably accurate predictions: Demographics allow for that. Although demographics may not be destiny for an individual, it is the best predictor of a school’s outcomes — independent of that school’s teachers, administrators and curriculum!

We can demonstrate that fact again by going to America’s heartland, Nebraska. In a recent year, the poverty rate in a middle school in the Elkhorn school district, near Omaha, was under 3 percent. In that same year the poverty rate in a middle school in the nearby city of Omaha was about 90 percent. If you determined the poverty rate for every middle school and correlated that with their achievement scores in reading on the Nebraska State Accountability system (NeSA), you would find that they correlate -.92. This is almost perfect prediction!

The higher the poverty rate, the lower the scores. This allows me, if I wanted to, to skip the test altogether because I can predict with great accuracy the aggregate performance of the students in these Nebraska schools. And if I wanted to know how individual students were doing, I would simply ask a teacher. They really are quite good at describing the skills possessed by each of their students!

What we are left to wonder about from Nebraska’s data is this: Do all the good teachers and administrators in Nebraska work in the Elkhorn district? Similarly, we must wonder if all the bad teachers and administrators work in Omaha’s poorest schools? I don’t think so! It is much more likely to be family income, and all that correlates with income, that determines the standardized achievement test scores in Nebraska and elsewhere.

Another research study demonstrates that standardized achievement tests show huge differences in scores based on the income of students’ families, and the schools to which that family income allows access. In this international test with an average score of about 500, low-income kids, in schools that cater to low-income kids, scored 455. But high-income kids in schools that cater to high-income kids scored 607! That is about a standard deviation and half difference — a huge difference. The fiscal, social, and intellectual capital available to kids in these socioeconomically separated schools produces these large differences — independent of the quality of teachers, administrators, or the curriculum used.

These differences in school achievement occur as a function of differences in family income and the housing choices associated with family income, as well as the employment policies, health policies, and policies about law enforcement and the sentencing of those found guilty of crimes. It is this profusion of policies, rarely thought about simultaneously, that determines the huge differences in achievement scores between schools, and between school districts.

It’s really not the teachers. It’s really not the curriculum. It is us! We the people, inhabiting the richest country in the world, have kept too many vulnerable families in positions of vulnerability for far too long. That is what affects their children and the achievement levels of the schools attended by those children. Did you know that when you fall into poverty in the United States of America through loss of job, illness, drug or gambling addiction problems, and the like, you are likely to spend more time in poverty than in many other Western countries? Other countries have social services to get families back on track.

We have limited such services, and families that fall into poverty in the United States are more likely to spend many more years in poverty than in other Western countries. I think too many contemporary lawmakers in the United States believe what our Founding Fathers believed — namely, that it is God’s will that some families fall into poverty. Meanwhile, in many European democracies, the state tries to relieve god of her responsibility to determine which families are destined to live in poverty!

Despite the irrefutable relationship of poverty to school achievement, some states, like my own, go on to promote an insulting and highly misleading educational policy. We Arizonans grade our schools A-F (based on their test scores). When we do this, of course, all we have done is judge, from A-F, the kinds of lives that are lived by the majority of the kids at that school. In reality, it’s not the quality of the schools that is assessed. Instead, what is assessed are the lives of the families who attend those schools. The grading of schools serves the real estate community quite well. But those grades tell the public nothing about the quality of teaching and caring in a particular school.

Fifty years ago, James Coleman shocked the education community by asserting that a plethora of out-of-school factors were the real determinants of in-school quality. A recent re-analysis of that report found that Coleman did not recognize in his own data the power of the cohort in a grade, or in a school, to also have a large influence on the quality of schooling, separate from the out-of-school factors that determine school quality.

Independent of those out-of-school factors (such as family income and neighborhood characteristics) were the characteristics of the cohort in one’s class or school. The cohort had independent effects on learning outcomes. What this means is that in America’s neighborhood schools, an apartheid-lite system of housing affects scores in two ways: first through the out-of-school factors that negatively affect achievement, and secondly, though powerful cohort effects in the schools attended by children of a particular neighborhood.

Neighborhoods that might be just a few blocks from each other have a formidable influence on school cultures through the cohort effects at a school site. Students just a few blocks apart have been found to have quite different adult earnings and social status. Middle-class visions of appropriate behavior and preparation for college may be the norms developed at one neighborhood school, while lower-class visions of appropriate behavior and schooling could well be the norms that pervade another school just a few blocks away.

So the A-F grades given to schools according to their achievement test scores really have their roots in neighborhood income; the percentage of single-parent families in the neighborhood; the churn rates of teachers and administrators at the school, as well as the churn rate of families in the neighborhood; the absentee rates of students at the school; and so forth. These A-F grades simply do not provide insight into the quality of the teachers and the nurturance of students at a particular school site.

Neighborhood schools in the U.S. hurt our nation. But this is not a reason to support charter or private schools, which are too frequently highly selective about who they let in and who they are willing to keep in their schools. In a democracy, if any public dollars are used for schooling, that school should serve all our kids, just as we expect the police and fire departments to serve us all.

Despite the naysayers and advocates for charter and private education at public expense, it turns out that America’s public education system is remarkably successful. For example, on the recent PISA international tests, white public-school students in the U.S.A. outscored students in Korea and Hong Kong in science. That’s not too shabby, but it was underreported. And on the reading test, our white public-school kids outscored Korea and Japan, two nations that are often held up as models for our schools to emulate. Again, that’s not too shabby! We should note that white kids in the United States have a poverty rate of about 9 percent, while black and Hispanic kids, who did not score nearly as well, have poverty rates exceeding 20 percent! Could it be poverty and its sequelae, rather than teacher incompetence, is at the root of America’s educational problems?

Our public schools produced other effects our newspapers too often refuse to report. For example, in international ratings of entrepreneurship, we hold the highest ranking in the world, both for men and for woman. In international comparisons of creativity, we rank among the highest in the world. In gross domestic product earned per hour worked by American labor, we are by far the leaders of the industrialized world.

What we have is an amazingly successful system of public education, overall, but one that simultaneously fails too many of our minorities and too many of our poor people. In my opinion, democracy’s most serious contemporary problem is the fact that minority status and poverty are so highly correlated.

What would provide a public-school system that might work for all its attendees? I’d nominate housing policies that can help integrate various income and racial groups who attend our public schools; policies related to a minimum wage and employer-provided benefits, such that workers can afford decent housing and nutrition, and where workers can expect a decent pension at the end of their working lives; policies that provide access to health care for all; policies that help our police and our courts to be more family-friendly. The policies I see most helping our schools are not directed toward teaching and learning in our schools. My concerns are elsewhere.

I am certainly not against improving our schools. Like many others who study schooling, I have my own suggestions about how to do that, based on some solid research evidence. But if I can find them, I am only going to vote for those who understand that the root problems of our schools are not in our schools. It is past time that we stop worrying about reforming and improving our schools. Instead, we need to ensure that we have programs that can improve our society. Shifting our gaze away from schooling and looking instead at the quality of the lives lived by the families whose children attend our schools might prove to be the surest way to improve American education. From now on, candidates who understand that are the ones who will get my vote.

Angie and Bob Rickard adulation to decorate, so aback they purchased their ample Chesterfield home two years ago, they approached a aloft acclimate with gusto. Its aboriginal owners congenital the abode 12 years ago, designing it to carbon an absolute château they begin in France. The abode was able-bodied constructed, but the décor acquainted anachronous aback the Rickards confused in, with a lot of aphotic wood, abundant draperies, and acrylic shades of tan and yellow.

“They congenital it right,” says Bob, acquainted the home’s abounding able appearance like geothermal heating and cooling and a hospital-grade air filtration system. “We knew instantly that the basic were here. We capital to booty this and accord it a avant-garde touch.”

The home’s acceptable architectonics was a abandonment for the Rickards, whose antecedent homes had been added abreast in style. They accepted the challenge, enlisting autogenous artist Joni Spear to advice them accomplish their vision.

“We had best of the idea, but we bare Joni to cull us out of the box,” says Angie, who began by accession photos and afflatus from books, magazines and photos online.

“We brought it up to the 21st century,” adds Spear. “They were appealing specific about their wants and were absolutely complex in all of the decision-making. I aloof guided them and gave them options.”

The brace started with a apple-pie slate; they had awash best of their abreast accoutrement with their old house. The advance took about six months. Wanting a brighter, fresher look, they had all of the aphotic copse millwork corrective or replaced with white and chose an all-embracing palette of capricious grays and whites.

“We capital to accumulate it affectionate of monochromatic but add texture,” Spear says.

In the active room, they pushed a bank aback to accessible it up and added custom shelving advised by Spear and congenital by All Star Construction Services. Aphotic handscraped balk floors by Cassabella antithesis the white woodwork. They replaced the abundant draperies with white acreage shutters for a clean, avant-garde attending and accessible ablaze control.

The first-floor adept suite, off the active room, saw the best affecting changes. Originally three abstracted apartment including a sitting room, appointment and bedroom, the Rickards agape out the walls to accessible the amplitude into one ample bedroom. Bob’s home appointment board sits in a bend adverse ample windows overlooking the clandestine backyard and pond pool. A recessed beam aloft the bed creates a affecting effect, corrective argent at Spear’s suggestion. Off the bedchamber is a spa-like adept ablution with mirror angel his-and-hers sides.

In the academic dining room, the brace replaced some of the aboriginal stonework with custom wainscoting and millwork about the windows.

“We capital to accumulate that French château attending but address to their avant-garde sensibilities,” Spear says.

The allowance came calm with a beauteous colossal dining table alien from Italy and amidst by amusing high-backed chairs by Alden Parkes that accept an “Alice in Wonderland” feel. They added a French marble broiler over which hangs a avant-garde painting of Paris purchased at a arcade in Carmel, Calif., area the Rickards vacation annually.

The awful anatomic kitchen was larboard mostly intact, with the aboriginal cabinetry adapted with a covering of white paint. Spears commutual a annular table by Ballard Designs with Provincial cane-back chairs by Parkes in the breakfast nook. A brace of arresting analogous chandeliers from Metro Lighting hangs aloft the table and the centermost island.

The comfortable library, nestled amid the active allowance and dining room, is the alone atom area the home’s aboriginal aphotic copse remains. Removing the draperies from the windows brought added ablaze into the space, which is a admired account atom for Angie and Bob.

A sweeping, arced access in the admirable antechamber makes an absolute account aback entering the home. Angie’s home appointment sits at the top of the stairs on an accessible landing.

It’s adamantine for either Bob or Angie to accept a admired atom in their anew adapted home. “We absolutely use every room,” Angie says.

Spear is additionally admiring with the aftereffect and her blessed clients. “They knew what they wanted, but they didn’t apperceive absolutely how to cull it off,” she says. “I aloof affectionate of able what they wanted.”

As Election Day looms, you're probably hearing a lot about why you need to get your butt to the polls. But, consistently, a huge chunk of the American population fails to do just that - especially in midterm elections. The main reason people historically cite for dodging their civic duty is that it's simply too hard to get away from work and school to cast a ballot. So why, then, do we continue to hold Election Day on a seemingly random Tuesday in November?

Vote.org founder Debra Cleaver said there's a surprising answer - one that made sense when Congress instituted the rule in 1845, but makes very little sense now, 172 years later. In the mid-1800s, the United States was still largely a society fueled by agriculture. That meant November was a good month to hold the vote, because it was after the harvest, but before Winter weather set in. OK, but why Tuesday?

"They picked Tuesday because it was the day before farmers had to set up at market, so people would be coming in from the rural areas into town," Cleaver said. "It was the single-most convenient day for the majority of Americans to vote, because people were all in the city centers." Flash forward to 2018, Cleaver said, and that's clearly no longer the case.

Several efforts to change this archaic tradition and establish Election Day as a national holiday have been made over the years, but to no avail. Why is that? Cleaver has a theory: "I don't think elected officials are motivated to increase turnout, because increased turnout increases accountability."

Cleaver isn't even convinced that simply declaring Election Day a national holiday would make great strides to remedy America's low voter turnout. (Only 58 percent of eligible voters cast a ballot in the 2016 presidential election.) "If we simply make Election Day a federal holiday, it will only affect federal employees," she noted. Instead, there are a number of other things we could do to help make voting easier on the electorate, and we need only look at other developed countries - most of which have higher voter turnout rates than we do - for clues. Here are a few examples:

In countries like Denmark, Sweden, and Iceland, voter registration is linked to national population records. In other words: you're automatically registered to vote. (Speaking of, if you're not 100 percent positive you're registered to vote, take a few seconds and confirm your voter registration status here.)

In countries like Belgium and Australia, voting is compulsory - meaning that if you don't participate, you could face a fine.

In many developed countries - including Mexico, New Zealand, Spain, Germany, and France, just to name a few - voting takes place on weekends or holidays.

Only about half of US states have laws protecting the rights of workers to take unpaid time off - key word: unpaid --to vote on Election Day. For many people, especially employees who are paid hourly, the choice to go to work instead of to their polling place doesn't feel like much of a choice at all.

Cleaver said that, for most Americans, it's their boss who ultimately controls whether they can realistically take time away to vote. So even though we may have the legal right to exercise our voting privileges, it's reasonable that many people are too intimidated to ask to use it. This fact unfortunately serves to make populations marginalized by factors like socioeconomic status even less likely to make their voices heard via their votes.

That's why Cleaver and Vote.org launched ElectionDay.org, a special project to enlist companies to hold themselves accountable when it comes to making voting a priority. To date, more than 150 companies - including Patagonia, Lyft, Kaiser Permanente, and Pinterest - have signed ElectionDay.org's pledge to give workers paid time off to vote on Election Day this November.

Cleaver said she's been heartened by the response, and isn't above appealing to corporate self-interest in making her case to business leaders. "Low voter turnout increases the likelihood that radical candidates win and radical candidates bring with them radical policies that hurt business," she noted, pointing to the current trade war with China, which is causing headaches for businesses across several industries. "Democracy is good for business."

[China], Nov 7 (ANI): Ace Indian shuttler Kidambi Srikanth crushed Lucas Corvee of France on the second day of the ongoing China Open by registering an easy 21-12, 21-16 win in men's singles match.

The world number nine hardly broke a sweat in the first set to end the game in his favour. As the game entered into the second set, the Frenchman tried to make a comeback. But Srikanth, while maintaining the momentum, showed the door to Corvee in a total of 34 minutes.

Your list is wholly out context and largely meaningless.
Cato's Human Freedom Index features 12 primary categories of measurement and 50 subcategories.
Pulling out 1 of the 50 subcategories and shouting 'Eureka!', is the epitome of simpleton.
First, of the countries you list, how determined do you imagine their despotic police states might be to recognize and record homicides - many of which are at the hands of said police state? After all, Cato can only base their analysis on the numbers made available.
Second, the report is for 2017 - there were no genocides in any of these countries in 2017 (give Trump another year, I'm sure the new freedoms allowed Putin, Erdogon, Mohammed bin Salman, Duterte, Kim Jong Un ("we fell in love") and sundry other despot bff's of the Trump crime family will remedy this brief interlude)

Out of 17 regions, the highest levels of freedom are in Western Europe, Northern Europe, and North America (Canada and the United States). The lowest levels are in the Middle East and North Africa, Eastern Europe</blockquote>

Margie (Mary Margaret) Smith-Haas is an American sportscar driver who raced at Le Mans in 1984 and 1985. She usually drove Porsches.

In 1984, she drove a Porsche 930 run by Charles Ivey Racing, sharing with Paul Smith and David Ovey. The car made it to just under half-distance before an oil leak triggered its retirement. The following year, she drove a J. Winther Denmark URD C83 prototype, which also did not finish. Its BMW engine expired after 141 laps, despite the best efforts of Margie, Jens Winther and David Mercer.

Le Mans was only a small part of Margie’s career. She was active in motorsport between 1978 1995, beginning when she was 28 years old and recently married to Paul Haas. The couple met competing in a time trial.

Her first major race was the Road Atlanta 500 Miles in 1979. She drove a Porsche 914 run by Personalized Porsche with Paul Haas and Wayne Baker. They were 27th overall and eleventh in class.

The Personalized Porsche car came out again for a second IMSA race, the Riverside 5 Hours in 1980. Margie was 26th, as part of a three-driver team with Paul and Jeff Scott.

A break from racing followed, but when Margie returned to competition in 1983 she was no less ambitious. She raced in Europe for the first time, beginning with the Monza 1000km in April. This was the first of four European Endurance Championship races she entered. Her car was a Group C Porsche CK5, shared with Tony Dron and team owner Richard Cleare. They retired early on with an oil leak.

She was scheduled to contest the Silverstone 1000km for Edgar Dören’s team but did not make the start, despite qualifying in 28th place. Her next event was the Brands Hatch 1000km, the first of two in a Charles Ivey Racing Porsche 930. Margie, Paul Smith and David Ovey took the Group B car to 15th place against the Group C leviathans, and then finished thirteenth at Mugello.

Having shared a track with motorsport royalty like Jacky Ickx and Bob Wollek for much of the season, Margie found herself among Hollywood royalty in April when she partnered actor Gene Hackman for the Riverside 6 Hours. She was driving a Toyota Celica run by Dan Gurney’s All-American Racers team. The event, which was overshadowed by the death of Rolf Stommelen, led to a 16th place for Margie.

She did some more European Endurance rounds in 1984, again in the Charles Ivey 930, but could not finish any of them, including Le Mans as mentioned above. Le Mans was not the only 24-hour she entered, however: she was part of a three-driver team for the Daytona 24 Hours, driving a Porsche 911 RSR for Team Dallas with Paul Gilgan and John Zouzelka. They were 27th, sixth in class.

Later in the year she did her first race in the southern hemisphere. She was invited by Gebhardt Motorsport to drive its BMW-engined prototype at the Sandown 1000km in Australia, as part of an all-female team. Margie, Cathy Muller and Australian Sue Ransom managed 95 laps, somewhat under half-distance, before the car’s suspension gave way.

Margie’s 1985 Le Mans outing became her only big race of the year. She attempted to qualify for the Daytona 24 Hours in a Porsche 924 run by El Salvador Racing, but did not even make the official qualifying sessions. Her career was now in one of its leaner periods. In 1986, she tried to enter the Trans Am series in a Porsche 924, but the car was unreliable and never made the start of either race for which she officially registered.

She and Paul managed to get the 924 to two IMSA races in 1987, at Portland and Del Mar. They did enter more, but did not start. Margie was 27th in the Portland 300km and twelfth in the 45-minute Del Mar race, driving solo this time.

In 1988, she joined the American City Racing League, representing San Diego. This was the first year that the championship ran. Margie ran the three-car San Diego team that raced against similar teams from Hollywood, Sacramento and other US cities. Her own racing season was shortened as she spent the first part of it recovering from neck surgery after a road traffic accident.

She competed in the Sports 2000 class using a 2000cc one-make Sports 2000 car.. After a couple of seasons she became one of its leading drivers, finishing third in 1991 and winning the title in 1994 after leading for most of the season. This was the first win in a pro racing series for a female driver, in the USA at least.

Her last major sportscar race was the 1995 Daytona 24 Hours. Margie was back in a Group C car, driving a Spice SE90 for Screaming Eagles Racing. Her co-drivers included another Hollywood actor, Craig T Nelson. They did not finish following an accident.

Her last professional race looks to have been one of the ACRL rounds in 1996. She did four races in the series that year and was eleventh in the final standings.

She did return to the tracks briefly in 2002 for some races in the ACRL and was thirteenth overall.

After her retirement, she was a member of the all-female PPG Pace Car team attached to CART. At present, she runs a small company producing car-themed gifts, chiefly novelty cushions in the shape of famous racing cars.

In 2018 a UXO Desk Study concluded that presence of exposed and buried relict warfare items could pose a threat to the offshore construction activities. The threat has been assessed individually in Area A and B and the pipeline route have been subdivided into section based on risk level from UXO.
The Risk Mitigation Strategy is a part of the Desk Study and lists the different mitigation activities to ensure that the UXO Risk is reduced to ALARP (As Low as Reasonable Practicable). The main mitigation activity is to perform a UXO Survey and Inspection & Removal of UXO.
Hence, the successful tenderer shall perform the following services for each of the two areas:
— marine UXO Survey along the planned route,
— marine Inspection of pUXO (potential UXO),
— marine removal of identified and verified UXO in cooperation with Danish Navy EOD team.
The results will be used by the Contracting Authority’s appointed UXO Consultant for analysis, enabling it to evaluate the geophysical targets, select locations for subsequent inspection of exposed or buried ferrous objects and preparation of UXO Risk Sign-off Certificates.
For further details concerning the purchase, reference is made to the appendices to the tender documents.

The Contracting Authority will prequalify the 5 applicants which are evaluated as most qualified for the specific tender. Only the prequalified applicants will be invited to submit a tender. The selection of the applicants will be based on the submitted references. That is to which extend the reference(s) are similar to the tendered assignment, cf. section II.2.4. As a result the number of references will not be the determining factor alone, but more importantly to which degree the specific forwarded references are comparable and relevant to the tender assignment regarding solution, scope, magnitude and maritime environment (especially concerning seabed current and water depth) for either of the two Areas A and B where the services shall be performed. It will, however, in particular be rated positively if the applicants references (altogether) cover reference projects similar to both Area A and Area B. Finally, it will be rated positively if the references include more or all of the following UXO survey and inspection activities:
1) Performance of survey;
2) performance of inspections and removal and
3) data processing and interpretation.
The Baltic Pipe Project is a European PCI-Project (Project of Common Interest) Reference numbers: TRA-N-271 and TRA-N-780.
The Contracting Authority will only enter into contract with economic solid companies. This to ensure that the company continues to exist through the whole contract period.
The applicant must confirm the economic ability in the ESPD part IV.B: “Economic and financial standing” with information from the latest annual report regarding the following economic indicators:
1) Equity (total equity incl. share capital, reserves, revaluation, retained earning etc.);

Both economic indicators should be stated in ESPD part IV.B (financial ratios).
If the applicant is relying on the capacities of one or more other entities (e.g. a parent or sister company or a subcontractor) the information for the ESPD part IV.B must also be given in a separate ESPD from each of the entities, cf. section VI.3 “Additional information”.
The applicant is obliged to document the requirement by request of the Contracting Authority.
— equity must be at least 1 000 000 EUR,
— equity ratio must be at least 20 pct.
If the equity ratio is between 15 pct. and 20 pct. the supplier can qualify, if Equity exceeds 3 000 000 EUR.

2018 Nedbank Challenge Betting Preview And Tips

Favourite Watch

Rory McIlroy and Sergio Garcia make the trip to Sun City this year and both are listed around the 8/1 mark. Even after his shocking yip in the Turkish Open playoff against Justin Rose last week I think Haotong Li at 14/1 looks a good bet in the "win only" market. Turkey made it four consecutive top-10's and after coming 4th here last year he can win and erase that horror of a week ago.

Doc's Top 5 Best Each Bets

Lucas Bjerregaard 25/1

Another T5 last week in Turkey saw a return to form for the Dane who now has a formline of a win and 3 other top-10's in his last six starts. Sun City winners are exclusively great greens in regulation merchants; and Lucas sits 2nd in the Tour's GIR stats with a 74.2% hit rate and 6.2% advantage over the field. In lays mans terms he should place!

Tom Lewis 33/1

What an end to the season it has been for the Englishman with a win in Portugal and subsequent drive which has seen a T10 at the Alfred Dunhill, T5 at Walton Heath and T14 at Carya last week. At 33/1 with his GIR game and this form Tom is trending up.

Joost Luiten 33/1

Week three of his comeback and the wrist is improving and getting back to Tour speed all the time. T11 in Valderrama and T23 in Turkey where tee to green he was excellent points to another improvement in South Africa where he's been top-15 on his last two visits. Still fresh amongst some tired men.

Shane Lowry 20/1

You just get the feeling that Shane is powering up towards the end of the season having scored good results in Turkey (T14) Spain (2nd) and Portugal (6th). He's a fantastic iron player (73.5% GIR on Tour this year) and strokes gained tee to green is the key this week where 11 and 14 under have won over the last two years. Has been top-15 in Sun City a couple of times and is in the form to contend.

Lee Westwood 35/1

If you're looking for an experienced head this week try Lee Westwood at 35/1. Still able to compete on Tour as he showed in Valderamma (T5) and Denmark (T2) and although he didn't feature at the top of the leaderboard last week he did top and tail with a pair of 66's. Knows Sun City like the back of his hand and won twice at the venue in 2010 and 2011. Worth a flutter.

Long Odds Glory Shots

Danny Willett is 40/1 at time of writing any showed signs again in Turkey of a return to form with a T7 finish. Winner here in 2014. Andrea Pavan at 66/1 is another man in form who plays a great tee to green game.

Google: Hey, it'd mean more if there was global agreement

A converted ambulance, the Sexelance is a mobile sex clinic offering harm reduction to the street sex workers of Copenhagen.

The Sexelance. Malene Anthony Nielsen/Scanpix. Used with permission.

When you open the doors to the Sexelance, you step into a sterile looking room. There’s lube in containers attached to the walls and condoms in boxes. There’s a blue folding chair – usually used for blowjobs – mirrors, and a little red light on the back door that illuminates the interior when the doors are closed. Though thoroughly transformed, it’s obvious that this first ever Danish sex clinic on wheels was once an ambulance riding through the streets of Copenhagen to aid the sick.

Today, the Sexelance serves as an alternative to the harsh realities facing street sex workers. In the car, they can sell their services under safer, more hygienic, and more dignified conditions than those on the streets. It’s an easy sell for to sex workers, but their clients rarely find it as appealing. Many do not want to come with them into the car, and then the sex workers must choose: lose the customer or follow them out into the night.

The moral discussion over prostitution keeps many good ideas for protecting sex workers from getting off the ground.

The sterility of the experience is off-putting. It’s not as if the sex workers want it that way. They’d prefer for the Sexelance to be more cozy and ‘sexy’, but laws make that easier said than done. One of the reasons behind the clinical looking interior is that the Sexelance runs the risk of being accused by police, critics, and the judicial system of encouraging prostitution. That’s illegal in Denmark, even though prostitution itself is not. It’s a distinction rooted in the moral discussion over prostitution that keeps many good ideas for protecting sex workers from really getting off the ground.

“Don’t come knocking if the car is rocking” is a phrase often used by the volunteers of the car. But the motivation behind the car is no joke, and the last thing it is trying to do is to encourage prostitution. It’s instead trying make the sex already being sold safer by giving it a secure place to take place. During the many years I have researched migrants and sex workers in the streets of Vesterbro, Copenhagen – an area known for its red-light district – the hotels there have shut their doors to the sex workers and their clients. Places where sex workers used to take their clients have been shut down because they were accused of aiding prostitution.

For the sex workers who aren’t working in a licensed brothel, this means they have little choice but to do their job in the customer’s cars, in dark alleyways, and between dumpsters in back yards. It goes without saying that working alone at night with often inebriated customers is dangerous. In comparison, not a single violent incident has been reported to have taken place in the Sexelance.

No research says that safety for sex workers creates more sex workers

The Sexelance delivers an immediate and hands-on solution to a real problem: the lack of safety for street sex workers who, for many different reasons, do not have other ways of making money to support themselves and their families.

The Sexelance is not a brothel. It is serious harm reduction on four wheels. Harm reduction means reducing the harms that marginalised people face, and many humanitarian organisations work with harm reduction in areas such as sex work, drug use, and migration.

Harm reduction as a tactic has come under increasing critique in recent times. Rather than viewed as a neutral and apolitical act, it has been recast as a way of abetting or encouraging something viewed by many as undesirable. In this case, the act of making sex work safe is re-cast as a method of encouraging prostitution. Similar dynamics are at work when the NGO Doctors Without Borders pulls people out of the water in the Mediterranean and then is accused of encouraging migration. The logic seems to be that the threat of grievous personal harm – being raped behind a dumpster or drowning in the blue waters of the Mediterranean – is the only force capable of keeping these practices in check. Provide a cushion and everybody will soon be doing it.

Is the possibility of a small potential rise morally worse than insisting that those already suffering continue to do so?

But people don’t sell sex for safety reasons and people don’t migrate across oceans to be rescued. No research shows that more safety for sex workers creates substantially more sex workers, just as no research shows that more lifeboats create substantially more migrants. The vast majority of people sell sex or migrate because of unemployment, war, and poverty. In relation to these factors, a bit more safety might save lives but it certainly won’t tip the balance.

There is a chance that effective harm reduction strategies result in marginally more people entering sex work. People who have worked with harm reduction for years do not reject this possibility. But even if it would be possible to measure a small rise in overall numbers, exclusively due to safety measures, we are still left with a moral philosophic question: is the possibility of a small potential rise morally worse than insisting that those already suffering continue to do so?

The Danish philosopher K. E. Løgstrup said that we each have an ethical obligation to help the person standing in front of us in the situation they are in, regardless of the political context. That is the core principle of harm reduction. It does not, in any way, suggest that we cannot also work on sustainable and long-term political solutions for marginalised groups of people.

The Sexelance has taken a stand. In the future, the interior in the car will be cozier and ‘sexier’ so more sex workers and their clients will want to frequent it. This change will put the service at risk, but as long as it remains in operation it will create more safety for more people. As Line Haferbier, chairman of the coalition behind the Sexelance, says:

“Our goal is that no sex worker have to work in unsafe conditions and risk assault when they are working. Sex workers are experts in their own life and it is upon requests from them that we are now changing the interior of The Sexelance.”

Artistic Director Adam Brazier, on behalf of Confederation Centre of the Arts, has announced select casting for The 2019 Charlottetown Festival. Sponsored by CIBC, the Festival includes six productions and runs June 28 to September 28.

Rebecca Poff and Katie Kerr will star as mother and daughter Donna and Sophie in Mamma Mia!, a co-production with the Grand Theatre in London, playing in the Homburg Theatre August 9 to September 27. Poff turned heads in the Festival's 2018 concert performance of The House of Martin Guerre and also appeared in Jesus Christ Superstar and Anne of Green Gables-The Musical. A native of Sudbury, Ontario, Poff has performed throughout the continent, including in the Canadian National Tour of The Phantom of the Opera and the U.S. National/Broadway tours of Show Boat.

Kerr returns to the Greek Islands of Mamma Mia!, having previously starred as Sophie in the blockbuster 2016 production in Charlottetown, as well as with two other theatres. Kerr's other credits consist of multiple roles in Anne of Green Gables-The Musical, including the title role from 2013-14, and in the world premiere of Evangeline. "Sophie is really the driving force in Mamma Mia!" says Brazier, who will once again direct the musical. "It's no wonder Katie has since played the role across Canada; she is a tour de force as Sophie."

The Festival's new production of Kronborg-The Hamlet Rock Musical runs June 28 until July 20 in the Homburg Theatre. Directed by the Festival's associate artistic, Mary Francis Moore, the powerhouse rock musical is an electric experience, following Hamlet's quest for vengeance upon his uncle Claudius for killing his father. Aaron Hastelow stars as Hamlet and will also appear in Mamma Mia! as Sophie's beau, Skye.

Brazier is pleased to welcome back Festival favourite Cameron MacDuffee opposite Hastelow as Claudius, King of Denmark. MacDuffee recently appeared as a scene-stealing King Herod in the Festival's Jesus Christ Superstar, and has performed across Canada, including four seasons at Shaw Festival. His Charlottetown highlights include turns in Evangeline, Ring of Fire, and On the Road with Dutch Mason. He will also reprise his role as Harry in Mamma Mia! at the 2019 Festival.

Making her mainstage debut in Kronborg-The Hamlet Rock Musical will be Kimberly Truong as Ophelia. Truong hails from Prince Rupert, B.C. and was previously part of the Confederation Centre Young Company in Les Feux Follets. She has appeared in productions of Les Misérables, West Side Story, and A Chorus Line. Last year, she made her Broadway debut in the celebrated revival of Miss Saigon. "It is thrilling to have Kimberly back at The Charlottetown Festival," remarks Brazier. "She has an extraordinary voice and an undeniable presence onstage."

The other big news is that the Festival is once again offering a '50% Off Sale' ticket sale for the 2019 Festival. This sale is a favourite for Islanders searching for tickets every summer and is on sale for a limited time only. From November 17 to December 1 these can be purchased at the Centre box office, online, or by phone at 1 (902) 566-1267 or 1 (800) 565-0278. This sale is available for Founders' Circle members as of November 16.

Additional casting, including a new leading star for Anne of Green Gables-The Musical and a new Gilbert, will be announced in the months ahead.

Legal pot hasn't even been on sale for a month in Canada, and yet the weed industry there is already worth more than hockey is. You read that correctly: Even Canadian hockey, with a nearly $2 billion economic impact, is no match for the $6.61 billion impact legal pot is predicted to have on the Canadian economy.

With roughly the same population as the state of California, Canada doesn't have a particularly large number of people, and its economy is far smaller than that of the United States. So why is Canada's legalization such a big business?

It's because Canada actually legalized pot, something the US has never done. Individual states like California and Washington have legalized weed, but cannabis remains highly illegal according to US federal law. Canada went the opposite route: The federal government legalized pot, and then let the local governments decide on regulations.

That has left Canada with a patchwork of pot laws. Some territories, like Alberta, allow 18-year-olds to buy legal pot, but other places, such as British Columbia, make people wait until they are 19 to legally toke. Manitoba won't allow residents to grow their own pot (boo!), but Nova Scotia allows every adult to grow up to four plants at home (yay!). New Brunswick will allow pot to be sold only in person at government-run stores (like Washington's old liquor law system), whereas BC will have private stores and government stores, and even allow for online sales.

Even with these regulatory differences across the country, pot is still legal everywhere in Canada, and that's giving our northern neighbors a business advantage. Big companies are very hesitant to get involved in the US's legal state markets because of our federal prohibition. That has left state industries trailing according to a new report from cannabis analytics firm New Frontier Data, which compared Canada's market to California's.

"While comparisons can be made to California's legal cannabis market, Canada stands alone in terms of scope and importance on the world stage," the report's authors wrote. "This was mainly due to Canada's being a safer play, with a federally legal medical market."

That's opened the door to huge investments. New Frontier Data tracked a 600 percent increase in corporate pot deals in Canada from 2017 to 2018, including deals that have made some pot companies worth more than $10 billion. The tobacco and alcohol industries are also investing in this new market. Constellation Brands, which owns beer brands like Corona and Ballast Point, dropped $245 million in a Canadian pot producer, and Alliance One, a North Carolina tobacco company, now has a controlling stake in a Canadian pot grow.

The Canadian market launched this month with pot shortages, but once these huge, billion-dollar companies get up and running, they will each be able to produce more than 100,000 kilograms of pot a year, according to New Frontier Data's estimates. The data firm thinks the entire market will only consume 300,000 to 400,000 kilograms of pot a year. That adds up to an oversupply problem, and small pot growers are worried.

There is one alleviating factor to Canada's impending oversupply problem: Full legalization means Canadian pot companies can enter into international agreements to sell their pot overseas. Some Canadian companies already have agreements to export pot to other countries, including Germany, Denmark, Brazil, and Jamaica.

These trade deals may ease Canada's oversupply problem, but they don't make it legal for you to buy pot in Vancouver and drive it to Seattle. Thanks to our country's idiotic federal prohibition on weed, our border patrol agents are still total dicks when it comes to pot possession, and will likely arrest you if they find any on your person. The US border patrol is even considering banning Canadians that work in the pot industry from entering the US

While the US maintains those insane policies, Canada is showing the world how to legalize pot on a national scale. It might just make our northern neighbors more famous for cannabis than for hockey.

This paper draws on material from a PhD project that qualitativelyexplores the social volunteer work conducted by the Danish volunteerorganization Children’s Adult - friends. Children’ Adult - friendsspecializes in matching children from single parent households witha resourceful adult of the same gender. The main target group forChildren’s Adult - friends are children with little or no contact to theirfather or mother.The majority of research relating to the third sector in Denmark isquanti tative correlations of movement patterns in Danes voluntaryefforts. This has meant that the qualitative studies of whatvolunteering means have been lacking behind more survey - basedstudies of the "voluntary sector" at macro level. Few scholars hasemphas ized the need to study volunteerism as a social phenomenon,to show how caring in a voluntary setting differs from both theprivate and public care systems. Drawing on a pilot study based onparticipatory observations and 15 qualitative interviews withorg anizational actors, parents, volunteers and children with a focuson motives, experiences and feelings, this study high lights theadult - friend relationship as a specific form of sociality.In this presentation, I will shed light on the findings from this study,with a focus on why the adult - friend relation has its own emotionalscript, which differs from both public and private care systems.Combined with a sociology of emotions perspective, I wish to showthe feeling rules, the micro hierarchies and the emotion work in thistype of voluntary work. The first analysis will be at theorganizational level and address feeling rules. The second analysiswill show how the actors incorporate and experience these feelingrules in their relationship with each other to find a suitableattachment - style.

The EU's plans to introduce a three percent tax on large companies' digital revenues appears stranded, after a group of countries - including Ireland, Denmark and Sweden - on Tuesday said they would veto it. Germany said the EU should now wait for an OECD decision on digital taxes, whilst other countries have moved ahead with their own national digital taxes. Tax can only be unanimously agreed in the EU.

The Syria crisis is often described as the worst humanitarian catastrophe since the end of the Cold War. Inside Syria, 7.6 million people are internally displaced and 12.2 million are in need of humanitarian assistance, with 4.8 million in hard-to-reach areas. There are 4 million Syrian refugees in neighboring countries. This is no short-term humanitarian episode. The devastating human consequences to huge numbers of people will endure for decades. The destruction of relationships, communities, livelihoods, homes and infrastructure will take years to repair.

Now in its sixth year, the armed conflict in Syria has resulted in a humanitarian crisis inside Syria and throughout the region. The most recent figures indicate that over 5 million Syrian refugees in neighboring Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, and Iraq. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) reports that 654,903 refugees were registered in Jordan.

Working in coordination with the humanitarian community and the Government of Jordan, the IRC provides assistance for Syrian refugees in both camp and urban settings. The IRC's assistance programs are focusing on providing health, protection and economic empowerment services at the urban areas in Mafraq and Irbid governorates and inside the two camps.

Project Background:

The Regional Development and Protection Programme (RDPP) is a three-year initiative managed by Denmark to support Lebanon, Jordan and Iraq to better understand, plan, mitigate and, where possible, maximise the effects of Syria refugees’ forced displacement into their countries. In addition to this, it works with national and international actors to provide better protection to those displaced by the Syrian conflict and create socio-economic development opportunities for the most vulnerable. The RDPP is a platform of eight donors (EU, Denmark, Ireland, Switzerland, Netherlands, UK, Norway and Czech Republic) joining up humanitarian and development funds to support host countries from a long-term perspective, acknowledging the reality that refugees will be displaced for a long period of time; that the humanitarian approach, while necessary, has to be complemented with development-led strategies; and recognizing the need to support hosting communities and refugees to better face these challenges.

In response to the Syria crisis and resulting displacement, the IRC project “Supporting Economic Opportunities and Livelihoods in Jordan” works in coordination with national and international partners to provide employment and self-employment opportunities refugees and vulnerable Jordanians in Mafraq, Irbid governorates and East Amman. Building on existing capacity and the IRC’s bundled service model, this program provides employment and financial management training, as well as employment support services and micro-enterprise support. The IRC is implementing the action directly, and through support to the local partners Ruwwad for Development through a training of trainers on the IRC’s financial literacy and business management curriculum. The IRC also is signing an agreement with Microfund for Women (MFW) to refer refuges to access to credit and loans through a signed MoU. IRC is partnering with Arab Renaissance for Democracy and Development (ARDD) and Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) for legal services, to provide beneficiaries with legal information about the right for work and business registration.

The Overall Objective of the project is that refugees and vulnerable host communities impacted by the Syrian conflict and resulting displacement crisis have improved livelihood opportunities and economic resilience. Both Syrian refugees and vulnerable Jordanians face high unemployment with limited opportunities to build safe, sustainable income. These populations will achieve improved livelihood opportunities through the Specific Objective: Vulnerable host community members and refugees have increased access to employment and self-employment and livelihood opportunities. The following results contribute to achieving the specific objective:

Result 1: Vulnerable Syrian refugees and Jordanians are prepared for employment and supported for self- employment.

Result 2: Safe employment and self-employment opportunities are created.

Result 3: Existing and new businesses are supported to grow.

Result 1: Vulnerable Syrian refugees and Jordanians are prepared for employment and supported for self- employment. The IRC’s training courses implemented by IRC in Mafraq, Irbid and Amman governorates and by Ruwwad for Development in East of Amman provides beneficiaries the opportunity to choose one of two training tracks: to start or expand a business (home-based or other), or for developing employability skills. Women and youth who choose self-employment complete “Financial Literacy and Business Skills” trainings. Those who choose the employment track attend the employability training and have the opportunity to be placed in apprenticeships or direct job placement. Through the apprenticeship component, participants are matched with local businesses for on-the-job training, where they will build the skills, experience and relationships that will help them increase their chances of being employed. Beneficiaries interested in entrepreneurship will have access to advanced business management training, where they will acquire skills to develop achievable business plans. Given the vulnerability of the target population and their increased risk of abuse and exploitation in the workplace, all beneficiaries have access to protection services through the IRC’s community centres and awareness sessions, and additional support through referrals for legal services provided by partners NRC and ARDD. In parallel, the IRC continue to advocate and coordinate with local actors and authorities to address legal and regulatory barriers faced by Syrian refugees when trying to access employment and self-employment opportunities. In March 2017, the IRC conducted rapid market assessments and private sector mapping in Amman, Ramtha, Irbid, and Mafraq, in order to identify the local labor needs and skills gaps, and to shape program design in each location where programs are implemented in a highly contextualized way. Overall, under Result 1, beneficiaries will be better prepared for employment and self-employment through improved skills and networking, as well as improved access to legal and protection support services.

Result 2: Safe employment and self-employment opportunities are created, Syrians and vulnerable Jordanians will also have access to safe employment opportunities through. This is achieved by providing beneficiaries and potential employers with the skills, experience, networks and capital necessary to support the creation and further development of new employment and self-employment opportunities. Through partnerships with local private sector companies, the IRC is supporting beneficiaries to develop and access both paid apprenticeships and employment opportunities. For beneficiaries interested in starting their own businesses, they have an opportunity to pursue self-employment through targeted entrepreneurship support, including business mentoring and capital. Overall, under Result 2, throughout the mentoring and capital support process these new businesses will also be supported to create new job opportunities where possible.

Result 3: Existing and new businesses are supported to grow, through the IRC in partnership with Ruwwad for Development and Micro-Fund for Women (MFW) new and existing entrepreneurs are supported to access to finance and business development services needed for their growth, and to ultimately support the growing MSME market in Jordan and contribute to increased employment opportunities (further reinforcing Result 2 as well). Through these partnerships, Ruwwad is trained to provide trainings on business management and development, start-up grants, and links to financial service providers to eligible clients. In addition to capital support and business development services, Ruwwad will also provide one-on-one coaching and mentoring for entrepreneurs. Research with youth entrepreneurs in other contexts has shown that businesses are 75% more likely to succeed if the entrepreneur has guidance from a business mentor. The initial findings and beneficiary feedback from the “Financial Literacy and Business Skills” trainings pilot suggest that entrepreneurs may benefit from additional mentoring to support in tackling both business and personal challenges, and to help their start-up businesses to succeed. Through this project, the IRC started piloting the developed mentorship programming for a duration of 6 months after entrepreneurs receive their business grants in order to improve outcomes for business effectiveness and income generation in the long-term.

The Evaluation framework and Evidence Research Scope:

The IRC see this evaluation as an opportunity to gain a fuller and a deeper understanding about the effect and the broader impacts of the first comprehensive livelihood project implemented by the IRC Jordan, to assess the complementarity in achieving the desired outcomes and to verify the linkages and the used pathways of the theories of change to generate an evidence on livelihood programing.

The aim of the final evaluation for the mentioned project is to:

Assess the achievements of the desired project outcomes and the impact to the lives of the people served by the project with a specific focus on the women and youth entrepreneurs who received business grants from IRC and it partner.

Assess the unintended outcomes occurred as a result of the project interventions.

Generate evidence on livelihood approach and interventions that contribute to the related theory of change.

The evaluation will cover the full project implementation period and all project’s interventions that is delivered by IRC directly and by IRC’s partner organization in all of the project’s locations to be able to answer the evaluation’s questions and to achieve its objectives.

James Kunstler muses on the upcoming elections and the Democratic Party strategy:

The party could not have issued a clearer message than “white men not welcome here.” Very well, then, they’ll vote somewhere else for somebody else. And if it happens that the Dems don’t prevail, and don’t manage to get their hands on the machinery of congress — then what?For one thing, a lot of people get indicted, especially former top officers from various glades of the Intel swamp. It shouldn’t be a surprise, given the numbers of them already called before grand juries and fingered by inspectors general. But it may be shocking how high up the indictments go, and how serious the charges may be: sedition… treason…?

War, Fed On Everything - Nothing short of genius can account for losing so consistently given the enormous resources available to American forces. The United States cannot fight a sizable land war. Iran can. Russia can. The American military means air power and little else. The Army hasn’t fought a serious war since 1973, the fleet since 1945. In long periods of inaction, things deteriorate. Crucial supplies cease to exist, spare parts aren’t there, the logistics train quietly becomes inoperable. Money goes instead to pricey weapons of little practical use. America is no longer a country of tough rural kids. Social engineering has rotted the ranks. The military has suffered years of feminization, SJW appeasement, affirmative action, lowered physical standards, and LGBTQ insertion.

Yes. Grundle, the governments of Western and Northern Europe are simply manufacturing statistics. Which is odd, though, since the US also ranks 17th on Transparency International's index of global corruption, and most of the freer countries are also less corrupt than we are (by the way, the data are from 2014; I expect, with Trump in charge, we're now somewhere below Burundi).
The point, which sailed right over your head, is that the argument that easy public access to firearms is necessary to preserve our freedom, is belied by the fact that freer countries than us have more strigent gun control. Denmark, for example, the least corrupt country on earth and the 8th most free, has really strict gun laws. How do they manage to stay free, without bubbas like you fondling their AR-15s in their basement and ready to overthrow the gummint? It's a puzzle.
But guess what? If you hunt, you can get a gun in Denmark. But your semi-automatic is limited to two rounds (yeah, I know, why even bother?). Because assuming you can shoot straight and haven't spent all night drinking Carlsberg, you shouldn't need to shoot 30 rounds to kill that deer (probably by giving it a heart attack).

French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire's efforts to get the European Union colleagues around a new tax on tech giants have stalled.

The plan on the table would impose a three percent levy on the European sales of the likes of Amazon and Facebook.

Countries sceptical of the plan doubled down on their opposition, and others, including Italy, said they'll push ahead with their own plans. Ministers from Denmark, Ireland and Sweden said they couldn't support the tax in its current form, casting doubt on the proposal's future.

Unanimity is required to pass tax laws in the EU. A number of countries are already imposing taxes of their own, increasing the risk of fragmentation in the single market.

Finance Minister Giovanni Tria said an Italian tax will kick in next year if there's no broader agreement by then. Spain and the UK have already announced their own levies.

It is possible that politicans see more political mileage in coming up with their own local taxes. It makes individual countries look stronger than the EU when it comes to taxation. However, the reality is that there is a risk that Big Tech will just move to a country in the EU which offers them them the lowest taxation if there is no unity. Ireland is also reluctant to force Big Tech to pay any tax because corporations provide a lot of jobs in the country.
